The Waterloo meeting was, to tha great relief of every one, brought to n close to-day. This has been the best day’s coursing of tae whole meeting, hares being more plentiful and the trials good. Mr Lloyd’s judging gave, except in one or two cases, every E-itisfactica. There is great room for improvement in Turner’s slipping. He can only be called an amateur at the best. The meet was this morning at tho Totara woolehcd, the weather being all that could be desired, The first brace put in the slips were Hiuomoa and Leo. The little wonder was lead up to the hara, but when once in possession Leo had never a show again, aa she knocked her game about in fine style, finishing with a brilliant kill. Kathleen outpaced Verbena and wen the coarse easily. I think Verbena’s owner has certainly a wrong idea about this slut’s powers, Balmoral was too fast for the littlo slut Hinomoa, but had the hara lived longer the latter might have balanced matters, Kathleen ran a bye in the final for the Cup. The ground seloated was very rough and hilly, not at all suitable to run off tho lust ties of such a large stake*

Ba'morol led up and took two turns, thou placing Kathleen, who used the hare once. Balmoral again got possession for one, when the little Queen Death slut made a splendid kill, thus putting herself out. In the first ties for the Hate. Belle led and easily disposed of Frolic. Bonny, Carlisle, and Tam O’Shvnter, owing to Tnrutr’a long slips, ran two undeoideds. In the third trial, Tam led up for first and second, after which the red dog appeared to die away, leaving the remainder of a tremendous long course in Carlisle’s possession. Brigadier and Eeferce were very even, but the hare kept turning from Referee in favor of the former, giving him the host of the course. In the second ties Bello and Bonny Carlisle were even for pace, bat the latter could not manage to climb the hill, giving Bello an easy victory. In ■the final Bello led and bent Brigadier in a very decided manner. In the Purse, second ties, Gill Gill being drawn lame. Gyp ran a bye, and Space easily disposed of Rupert. Camelia led Butterfly, and, in a good working course, had the best of her. Gyp ran a bye. In the third ties Gyp led Bruco about .ten lengths, and as far as could be seen by the crowd btat him well. Camelia beat Gypsey in a give and take course, with nothing to spare. After au undecided, Gyp ltd Camelia, and had all the best of a good course, Camelia ■never being able to (get on anything like even "terms with Mr Snrnam’s slut. This brought a ■long and tedious meeting to a close. That Balmoral ran a good dog no one can deny, yet ■he had a good share of luck. Even to-day he had one course less to run than the second—- . Kathleen. This alone was greatly in his favor. He is a very well-shaped black dog, imported, and no one can begrudge Mr Thomson his victory. The second, Kathleen, is quite a small slut (own sister to Morning Star, whose leg was broken by a horse at the beginning of the meeting.) She ran a real honest greyhound, and is fully deserving the position -she holds. I was sorry at this* the leading meeting of blew Zealand, to hear of a person •using most abusive language towards the judge, and more astonished, upon scanning the list of stewards, to find his name there. This is a thing very much indulged in at all coursing meetings here, and strange to say, those who should sot an example are always the first to offend. The course between Bruce and Gyp was the cause of this party’s ill-temper towards the judge. I have seen in England a man fined £5, and turned off the coursing ground for far less than was said to-day respecting this decision.' The only way to put a atop to>uch violent men, is to enforce the fine whenever they commit themselves in this manner, and thus benefit the club’s* funds.
